Rocksteady ha gestito al meglio il cast che aveva a disposizioni con storie interessanti e raramente pretestuose, ha riempito Gotham di cose da fare che non danno (quasi) mai l’impressione di essere state messe lì solo per fare densità sulla mappa e ha riproposto, rendendolo ancora più spettacolare, un combat system profondo al quale si può criticare solo il fatto di non aver tenuto conto fino in fondo delle nuove potenzialità di Batman, risultando così un pizzico più permissivo. Il gioco insomma c’è ed è massiccio, anche se manca di una trovata, di un colpo di genio capace di sorprendere.

Есть какая-то ирония в том, что даже лобби борцов за социальную справедливость и неплохое освещение в медиа не позволили медитативной антивоенной игре про афроамериканскую горничную разойтись тиражом более 4 тысяч копий, когда даже симулятор уборщика космической станции, залитой кровищей, собрал аудиторию около 200 тысяч человек.

Но здесь не страшно, а потому не интересно. Чтение записок и бредни Шона Бина просто утомляют. Польская интерпретация трагедии Дятлова навряд ли вызовет интерес среди игроков из СНГ – больно избитая история. За эти годы мы слышали про нее так много слухов, что сами легко выдадим несколько даже более пугающих версий тех событий.

The closing moments of Tales from the Borderlands Episode 3: Catch a Ride leave the characters I’ve grown to genuinely care about over the past six hours in some incredibly precarious situations. Lives are in balance, the bad guys have the upper hand, and the final reveal of where the series is headed left me eagerly awaiting where Telltale takes us in Episode 4.

Recluso, retido, presidiário, preso, palavras de tom sério que caracterizam a nossa personagem e vivência em The Escapists mas que são afundadas pela diversão, cores vivas e estilo gráfico 8-bit onde o objetivo é desenvolver e criar uma forma de escape. Um jogo Indie onde somos capazes de passar horas e horas a executar um elaborado plano de fuga e no fim falhar, mas que motiva sempre a tentar só mais uma vez (depois da 30º tentativa).

Met een prachtige stijl, kleurrijke graphics en goede platforming is Yoshi’s Woolly World zeker de moeite waard om te spelen. De nieuwe spelmechanieken die de wolvormgeving meebrengt, zorgen voor vele goed verstopte geheimen en toffe momenten. Wel speelt de game het te veilig en voelt het op momenten wat traag aan. Het goede level design en het feit dat toch steeds weer nieuwe onderdelen worden geïntroduceerd maken echter een hoop goed.

Heroes of the Storm is niet zomaar een nieuwe telg in de alsmaar groeiende MOBA-familie, het is een innovatieve teamgame die traditionele elementen opoffert voor nieuwe, vermakelijke gameplay met herkenbare personages. Ondanks de lichte sleur waar nieuwe spelers zich doorheen moeten werken door de willekeur van Quick Match, biedt Heroes of the Storm korte doch spannende matches waar je aan wil blijven beginnen.

Yoshi’s Woolly World è tradizione, nel bene e nel male: non si allontana mai abbastanza dalla strada maestra per stupire davvero, ma, così facendo, dimostra anche tutta la sua abilità nel dare vita a un gioco di piattaforme dal level design intelligente e dalla sfida perfettamente calibrata. Lo stile scelto, apprezzabilissimo concettualmente, non sempre viene portato su schermo al meglio, anche per colpa di valori produttivi piuttosto ridotti.

Seeing the series' iconic moments recreated with cute figurines is a treat, and each of the four campaigns is fast-paced enough that completing the entire franchise in its brick-based form will only take roughly seven to eight hours, which is not much longer than the combined film running times (and amounts to brisk mini-campaigns of two hours or less each). Plus, you can tackle this one with a friend and run around as a raptor or Jeff Goldblum. Just beware that there are a few pests inhabiting the island and the line to the best parts of the park may be a bit tough to navigate.

The world is exactly what I expected, thematically and in terms of structure: sand, snow, clouds, and fire, punctuated by bosses holed-up in themed fortresses. It’s incredibly familiar, but the imaginative and attractive art style makes it feel fresh and appealing. Outside of those great few levels, Woolly World is a more forgettable and fragmented experience. Cool mechanics are cooked up, but they’re dropped into levels which never realise their full potential and fixate more on unearthing frustrating collectibles.
